It is not rising prices that will cause a terminal end to our current monetary system, but two fatal flaws that are intrinsic to dollar: its irredeemablity and supressed interest rate. Debt is the cancer in our monetary system as it is growing exponentially, doubling every 8 years. The only way such debt can be serviced or repaid is for governments, via their central banks, to push down the rate of interest. However, falling interest rates push up bond prices and the price of assets; luring more people into debt. Some countries have moved to negative interest rates, which creates a perverse incentive for businesses to destroy capital. People propose that moving to a gold standard is the solution to the inevitable failure of the dollar, but no mechanism is proposed for how to achieve that. Inflation and rising gold price will not cause gold to circulate as money. Gold payment platforms are required to help gold circulate, but on their own they are not enough. Monetary Metals believes that only the ability to earn a yield on gold, to earn an income that can be spent, rather than having to sell one’s investments, is the key to getting gold to circulate and move our economic system to honest money.
